Hi there, welcome to another one of my easy to play lessons. If you get a chance to look over to my website to see all of the easy lessons over there, it’s www.mrmusiccanada.com. Hope you get a chance to get over there. Today, I’m going to show you a really easy song to play. It was done by Eric Clapton called “Tears in Heaven”. Okay, I’ve cutout all the difficult parts and done it in the key of C. I made the chords nice and easy for you, so I think you should be able to learn this song very quickly.

Okay so, let me go to the first part and then we’ll break it down and slow it down and show you how we do it okay.

[Demo]

And it goes to that part again. Okay so, with our right hand let us do that first starting on the E note here.

[Demo]

And then it goes to—we got a bridge to get back and do it again, okay. So, let’s go through that again, just on the E note.

[Demo]

Then the bridge.

[Demo]

I ‘m going to go through it again. Okay, we got some chords for that now. First, what I’m going to use is C. I’m going to use an inverted C so we can keep all our chords in the same general area. Okay, this is our normal C that we play a lot. Okay, we’re just going to take this G note, move this finger right down here instead. This is going to still give you a C chord. So, we’re going to use a C and we are going to go to a G chord, so find your G every second and note up from that is going to give you a G chord. And we’re going to switch to an A minor. So, just move everything up one. Okay, here’s you’re A. That is going to give you an A minor chord. We’re also going to need an F, so find your F down here. Every second note from that is going to give you an F chord. And we are also going to need a G and so we just move up from your F up to your G. And use the same string you’ll get the G chord. So, we’re going to put that together. Okay. Start off with our C chord okay.

Now go up to B, put your left hand when you start to feel comfortable enough in having it together. You can do that. Go to your F.

[Demo]

Okay and we only do that bridge in between the two and not at the end of it and switch in—it’s a little different part okay. So, that is the first part of the song and then move in to the other section.

[Demo]

We will go back to the start again, okay. So, chord wise, a little tougher this time. Let’s start of with our A minor, okay. We knew that one already and then we’re going to go to an E chord. Okay, so we grab our E, grab your B too. Key in your B, now just pluck the note in between.

[Demo]

Okay. It looks like we can have in E chord. No, we’re going to play a C 7th. So, we’re going to play our E and our G and this black note, okay.

[Demo]

Those are the three.

[Demo]

Okay and then we’re going to go to an A chord. So, we’re going to keep our finger down here on our E. We’re going to grab our A here. And we’re going to grab this black note. So, there is you’re A chord.

[Demo]

Okay, those are the three toughies in there. There is also a D minor in there. So, let’s just come through the chords again, A minor.

[Demo]

Okay then down to an E.

[Demo]

C 7th.

[Demo]

Okay and an A.

[Demo]

You can hardly see that but this way, you can see it better. And it goes to a D minor after that and then up to a G. Okay so, that’s the chord part of it. Okay and then our right hand melody fourth, starting up with a C here.

[Demo]

Okay, very simple but only the chords were hard. So, here we go with it nice and slow. There is you’re A minor chord.
